Amazing Artwork

We booked Emma for a small wedding blessing, and she was absolutely wonderful to work with. Communication was excellent from start to finish, and she was incredibly flexible when we needed to change the originally agreed time, which we really appreciated.

Emma created beautiful illustrations for our guests, and everyone commented on how happy they were with their artwork. It was such a thoughtful and unique gift for our guests to take home and a perfect way to remember such a special day. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Emma to anyone looking for a talented and professional artist.

Best Illustrator!

Emma’s work made our wedding truly special. We weren’t sure what to give our guests as a souvenir, and Emma’s drawings were the perfect gift!

Amazing!

Emma was incredible, every single guest was over the moon with their drawing. Nothing was ever any trouble even after the wedding we realised my Mum and Nan didn’t manage to get a picture, I sent Emma a picture and she drew a picture for us. I would recommend Emma to anyone having a wedding, we used her drawings as our favours and they went down so well.

Highly Recommend

Emma was a highlight at our wedding reception. Our guests thoroughly enjoyed watching her draw live, and it turned out to be a great, personalized wedding favor. Many of our friends still have their pictures displayed in their own homes or as their profile pictures.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to make your big decisions easier.

Hey! I'm Emma and I'm actually a comic artist turned live illustrator! That's how I have learnt to draw so fast. My childhood dream was to become an artist so my work is a dream come true! I'm all about cute artwork that touches people's hearts. If I'm not drawing I love to read comics, play video games and watch anime <3
